She was just 18! She had a new CD and was being talked about by the Skydiggers. I had her on the program on May 21, 2009 and she blew me away the way she played. She had great aspirations and began to tour the Maritimes in the fall and suffered the most unusual fate of being attacked by coyotes on the Cape Breton trail and died. I was in shock when I found out. It was even written about in Mojo Magazine. My heaviest moment in radio!

Produced by Mort Ross & Doug Riley, 1969
Recorded by Terry Brown
The roots of the original Motherlode can be traced back to Toronto's Yonge St. club scene of the late '60s. Despite receiving rave reviews and loyal following, “The Soul Searchers” were on their last legs. Steve Kennedy and William Smith, who’s resume also included some time with David Clayton Thomas's bands, decided to go out on their own, and joined up with members of Grant Smith & The Power.
RPM Magazine, based out of Toronto, decided to declare them Canada's first 'supergroup' ... which was a bit prophetic as the original band split up only a couple of months later, with most members joining Dr Music. Because producer Mort Ross owned the band’s name, several editions of Motherlode tried to carry on the cause.
